The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Construction Science at Capitol Technology University is a fully online, research-focused doctorate tailored for professionals seeking to drive innovation in the construction industry. From day one, students enter with a research idea and a committee chair, allowing them to quickly immerse themselves in meaningful research, either through a traditional dissertation or a series of peer-reviewed publications.
Guided by experienced faculty, candidates develop original solutions that address complex challenges—such as LEED certification, green building, and cost optimization—while also exploring the legal, ethical, and societal dimensions of construction science. Graduates are equipped to assume senior leadership positions, pursue academic careers, and contribute new knowledge that advances the field.
